I was first infected by the computer germ at the age of 8, when my dad gifted me a Commodore 64. I will never forget the nights I spent sleepless with my eyes stuck on that green monitor playing Turbo Outrun and Space Invaders.

But the happiest moments of my digital life were those spent with an Amstrad 128. Ah memories...

I started with a Commodore VIC20, followed by a C64 with 1541 floppy drive, a C128D with built-in 1541 floppy disk drive, C16, C+4, an Amiga 500 with 52 meg hard drive, Amiga 500+ with 100 meg hard drive, Amiga 4000 (upgraded to a MC68040/40 CPU overclocked to 55mhz) which I fitted into a tower I modded mysellf, Amiga 1200 with 40 meg hard drive, another A4000 with MC68030/50 CPU overclocked to 64mhz, another Amiga 1200 with hard drive, and an Amiga 600 with hard drive. Apart from the VIC20 and the Amiga 600, I still have all the other computers, all in working order, all in excellent condition. I let my grandchildren play on the 500's and 1200's when they visit, but they aren't allowed anywhere near my A4000's

Did you know that the computer generated graphics for the series Babylon 5 (and many other programs/films) were actually done on an Amiga A2000 fitted with a NewTek VideoToaster card? Disney Studios also had a farm of Amiga A4000/040 computers to render graphics for some of their releases as well
